Forbes: Mortgage And Treasury Bond Rates May Stay Higher Longer
Borrowers are wondering why interest rates are high and if they will fall. Multiple factors, including the path of short-term interest rates and global factors, will prevent a significant drop in rates. The main reason for high long-term interest rates is the expectation that the Federal Reserve will keep short-term rates higher than expected. This is likely to change in spring 2024, but rates won't reach the extremely low levels of 2020-21. Mortgage rates will also remain relatively high due to the ability to refinance when rates decrease. This is bad news for borrowers but good for savers and credit-worthy individuals.
